Plastics One Woman Show by Midori
Femina Potens invites you all to question your notions of beauty, desire, waste, and repulsion through art. We currently live in a hustling human hive that practices mass production and consumption. On many levels we live in a fast paced, “to-go” culture: dinner in a bag, spray tans, water in a bottle, injectable beauty, and sex on the Internet. While conveniently comfortable, this fast and disposable state shapes who we are as a society. This September, artist Midori explores and questions these ideas in ‘Plastics’, her latest one-woman show at the Femina Potens Art Gallery.
Author, educator and artist, Midori, is turning the gallery into a delightfully disturbing plastic sanctum, predominantly utilizing the iconic blow-up doll. No one ever admits to buying these dolls, let alone using one, and yet they are produced in vast quantities, in the sweatshops of developing nations. Constructed to represent a fetishized image of desire, the dolls in turn are produced and fed to a hungry society of insecurity and fear. In this interactive installation Midori critiques and revels in all things beautifully grotesque.
